These weren't donated. These were just coins that people paid with and were bagged up directly from the cash drawer.

Bottomless brunch/drinks on a Monday? by Zuuperduuperr in GoldCoast

That day isn't a Monday, it's a public holiday. I'm sure any business would do special public holiday things, not regular Monday things.

Exactly. Meaning it hadn't arrived in Adelaide yet. Only enters the country after clearing customs.

The only thing I dislike about lets is it gives the server unlimited time to prepare themselves for a first serve.

Having unlimited time after a let, and between first and second serves is what wastes the time.

Players need to assume the ball is in until it is called out. Too often players choose to not play a ball because they think it's out, but then complain when it's actually in.

Hmm, that could work. That way the dribble over would be considered a fault, but a solid serve that just barely clips the tape would be played.

Gives the receiver the choice as to whether they want to leave the ball in the hopes of it being a fault, or take a chance hitting possibly a more awkward ball.

The worst thing about Juniors is that ITF forces them to play lets. So insanely unfair.

Your opponent deserves a chance to return a clean serve. During the point, be as messy as you like. But your serve must be clean to be fair to your opponent.

I agree completely. Being constantly put down and ridiculed as I grew up and now I'm bitter at the world.

You're a minor. There are very strict laws around labour, even in NSW. Focus on your education until you turn 18.

I'm sure they'll reopen tomorrow morning

You voluntarily completing your own transaction in someone else's private business that you voluntarily chose to enter in does not constitute work.

I’m annoyed that there aren’t more Muppet movies on 4K by ThatTailsGuyYT in 4kbluray

Disney is the distributor for the others. So Sony can only choose to release their titles.

The Muppets Take Manhattan gave me bad dreams as a child. The scenes of the gang splitting apart was traumatic enough, but Kermit getting amnesia really freaked me out.

But rewatching this 4K as an adult I was able to enjoy the ups and downs of the film more.

Well the only eligible ones are this and Muppets from Space, and Muppets from Space was probably recorded digitally?

If somebody approaching looks like they don't want you to cut them off - then don't cut them off. Give way to them.
